INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this DrayTek Vigor 166 G.Fast DSL modem. It provides Internet connectivity through G.Fast, VDSL and ADSL lines, outputting to 2x Gigabit (1000BaseT) Ethernet ports.
The Vigor 166’s primary function is as a transparent bridge modem for G.Fast and xDSL services – not as a router/firewall in itself. It connects a secondary router or other device to your G.Fast / DSL line, where that device does not directly support DSL itself. As a bridge, the Vigor 166 only provides the physical conversion from G.Fast & xDSL (ADSL or VDSL) to Ethernet, adding the VLAN tag 101 required for communication on the OpenReach VDSL network. All firewalling, routing and other advanced routing functions are managed by your secondary device, such as; a separate router without built-in xDSL capability, Hardware Firewall, PC-based software router, etc. The Vigor 166 comes preconfigured for most UK ISPs. Therefore, in most cases you do not need to perform any setup of the Vigor 166 at all. You only need to physically connect it (plug it in) and then configure your connected router/firewall. Your ISP username and password go into your router, not the Vigor 166, which just acts as the G.Fast/DSL-to-Ethernet bridge. Alternatively, the Vigor 166 can operate as the NAT router on your network, with the Vigor 166 handling the connection to the ISP directly. This allows any devices connected to its network ports to access the Internet.

Package Contents

The type of the power adapter depends on the country that the modem will be installed. The maximum power consumption is 7.5 Watts.

Hardware Installation

This section details the physical installation of the Vigor 166 modem, connecting up the cables to the modem so that it can be used for Internet access. The modem can optionally be wall-mounted for secure installation.

Network Connection

1. Connect the DSL interface to the MODEM or DSL port of the external splitter/microfilter (not supplied) with the RJ-11 line cable. In most cases, your RJ11 DSL socket will be built-into your phone line socket on the wall and you won’t have a separate microfilter/splitter.
2. Connect the LAN port to your router or computer with the RJ-45 cable.
3. Connect the power adapter to the Power port of the modem and plug the power adapter into a suitable mains outlet.
4. Turn the Vigor 166 on using its power switch.
5. Check the ACT and LAN LEDs light up or blink.

Wall-Mounted Installation
The Vigor 166 modem has keyhole-type mounting slots on the underside for secure wall mounting.

1. A template is provided on the Vigor160 series packaging box to enable you to space the screws correctly on the wall.
2. Place the template on the wall and drill holes at the marked points.
3. Fit screws into the wall using the appropriate type of wall plug.
4. Fit the Vigor 166 modem onto the protruding screwheads and lower the modem to affix it securely in place on the wall.

Setup & Configuration

The Vigor 166 can be used either as a modem, bridging G.Fast or VDSl2 to its Ethernet ports, or as a router, connecting directly to the Internet and providing connectivity to any connected devices.
The Vigor 166 is pre-configured to work with most UK ISPs, with ideal settings for connecting to the Openreach G.Fast / VDSL2 network, adding VLAN tag 101 to any traffic passing through it.
Out of the box, the Vigor 166 operates in Modem/Bridge mode. To use the Vigor 166 as a modem for G.Fast or VDSL2 connections, connect it up to the DSL line and connect your router to one of the Vigor 166’s LAN ports. In your router’s configuration, set up the Internet connection to use PPPoE if your ISP has provided a Username and Password for you to connect to the Internet with. Otherwise, configure the Internet connection to connect automatically (using DHCP) or with a static IP if your ISP has supplied one. The Vigor 166 can be used as a router, connecting to the Internet directly and providing connectivity to all connected devices. See section “5.5 Using the Vigor 166 as a Router” for more information.

Accessing the Web Interface
To connect to the Vigor 166’s web interface, connect its Ethernet (RJ45) port directly to your PC. If your PC is enabled as a DHCP client, it will get an IP address from the Vigor 166, otherwise, set your PC to an IP address in the 192.168.2.x subnet (where ‘x’ is any number between 2-254). The Vigor 166 should then be accessible on its default address in your web browser of http://192.168.2.1 and you can login with the default username/password of admin/admin.

You should change that password from the system maintenance menu before you leave the modem’s setup screens. The Dashboard of the Vigor 166 shows the current DSL sync status and connected ports:

By default, the Vigor 166 is operating in Modem/Bridge mode, this means that the interface is streamlined, providing only options required for operating as a modem. To access all menu items available on the Vigor 166, switch it to Router mode as shown in section “5.5 Using the Vigor 166 as a Router”.

Using the Vigor 166 as a Modeem
The Vigor 166 functions as a modem straight out of the box, bridging a G.Fast or VDSL2 connection directly to whatever is connected to its LAN ports, whether that’s a Router, Firewall, Network Appliance or a PC. Because the Vigor 166 bridges G.Fast and VDSL2 to its LAN ports, your router will need to be configured to establish its connection to the Internet. To connect to the Internet, some ISPs assign an IP address automatically, while others will require a username & password (supplied by your ISP). The Vigor 166 passes through both types of connection with no further configuration required. Check your ISP’s documentation to determine what type of connection to use. Refer to your router’s documentation to set up an Internet connection. The Vigor 166 handles the VLAN tag that your ISP might require. We recommend not to configure any VLAN tag on your router as that could stop the Internet connection from establishing. To use the Vigor 166 as a modem, connect a LAN port (P1/P2) to your router’s RJ-45 Ethernet (WAN) port. Connect the DSL port of the Vigor 166 to your ISP’s RJ-11 DSL wall socket or microfilter. Check the LED lights on the Vigor 166 to determine its connection status:

• The ACT light should be flashing slowly to indicate normal operation.
• The DSL light will be lit solidly when it has connected to a G.Fast or VDSL2 connection and is ready to pass-through connectivity.
• The P1 or P2 LAN port light that’s connected to your router will be lit to indicate connectivity.

Once your router’s Internet connection settings are configured with the correct settings for your ISP the Internet connection will establish shortly after. If your ISP provides a username and password, then your router should be configured to PPPoE mode.

Checking G.Fast & DSL Status
Once the Vigor 166 is connected to your G.Fast / DSL line, you can check the [Online Status] > [Physical Connection] page for more information. This displays connection status, DSL type, signal quality and the link speed (e.g. 80Mb/s as shown below):

The [Dashboard] also shows a summary of DSL information with DSL port status and the DSL link speed.

Changing VLAN Tag Configuration
To check the VLAN tag setting that will be applied to traffic going through the modem to the ISP, go to the [Internet Access] > [General Setup] page. The default setting of VLAN tag 101 does not normally need to be changed. The modem adds VLAN tag 101 for any VDSL2/G.Fast connections, so your router does not need to be configured to add its own VLAN tag.

Note
This value is correct for ISPs that operate over the Openreach VDSL2 & G.Fast network. If your ISP operates  over a different xDSL network, this tag value may differ.  Please check with your ISP or the DrayTek UK Knowledgebase for ISP specific guides.

Using the Vigor 166 as a Router
The Vigor 166 can be used as either a modem or router, with the default being Modem/Bridge mode. To configure the Vigor 166 as a router, access the web interface and go to the [Operation Mode] menu:

Select Router Mode and click Next. Go through the steps in the setup wizard to complete the process, which configures the Vigor 166’s new LAN IP and its Internet connection type. Click Apply & Reboot. Upon restarting, access the web interface of the Vigor 166 from the Router LAN IP Address that was configured in the Router Mode setup wizard.  When accessing the web interface of the Vigor 166, it will now show additional menu options:

To configure your Internet connection, refer to the next two sections of this quick start guide. If these settings don’t work for you, or if you’re not sure what to set, see the DrayTek knowledgebase on www.draytek.co.uk/support for further information (for UK/Ireland users – other countries or regions will likely be completely different).

Connect to ISP with Username &Password
If your Internet connection requires a Username & Password to connect, usually with a username that resembles an email address, configure the Vigor 166 to connect to the Internet with these settings.
Once the Vigor 166 is operating in Router mode, go to [Internet Access] > [PPPoE / PPPoA]. Select the Enable radio button at the top of the page to enable the interface. Input the username into the Username field and password in the Password field, as required. The Service Name does not need to be specified. If your ISP has provided a static IP address, that can be specified by setting the Fixed IP setting to Yes and entering the IP in the Fixed IP Address field.

Click OK on this page to apply the changes and the router will then prompt to restart. Click the OK button to restart the router. Once the router has restarted, the [Dashboard] and the [Online Status] > [Physical Connection] pages will display the VDSL information and PPP connection status. When the WAN Status displays in green and shows an IP address, it has connected to the internet successfully:

Note
If the WAN IP address displayed begins with 172.16.x.x, it’s possible that the ISP has not accepted the supplied  Username and Password for the Internet connection.  Check that the ISP Access Setup – Username and Password match the details supplied by your ISP.

Connect to ISP with DHCP /Static IP
If your Internet connection does not require a Username & Password to connect or uses a static IP with a subnet mask & gateway address, configure the Vigor 166 to connect to the Internet with these settings. Once the Vigor 166 is operating in Router mode, go to [Internet Access] > [MPoA / Static or dynamic IP].

Select the Enable option and select Obtain an IP address automatically which will obtain an IP from the ISP using DHCP. If your ISP has provided a static IP range, with a Network address and a Subnet Mask, specify that with the Specify an IP address option instead. Click OK on this page to apply the changes and the router will then prompt to restart. Click the OK button to restart the router.
Once the router has restarted, the [Online Status] > [Physical Connection] page will display the VDSL information and DHCP connection status, if the WAN1 section shows an IP address, it has connected to the internet successfully:
